Fear Quotes
Americans did not acquire their fear neurosis as the result of a traumatic experience - war devasting their country, pestilence sweeping the land, famine wiping out helpless millions. Americans had to be taught to hate and fear an unseen enemy. The teachers were men in official positions, in government, men whom Americans normally trust without question.
Martha Gellhorn
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
A just fear of an imminent danger, though be no blow given, is a lawful cause of war.
Francis Bacon
But, if the knowledge of the occult powers of nature opens the spiritual sight of man, enlarges his intellectual faculties, and leads him unerringly to a profounder veneration for the Creator, on the other hand ignorance, dogmatic narrow-mindedness, and a childish fear of looking to the bottom of things, invariably leads to fetish-worship and superstition.
H. P. Blavatsky
I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.
Erica Jong
I have almost forgotten the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool’d to hear a night-shriek; and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in’t: I have supt full with horrors; Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, cannot once start me.
William Shakespeare
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
Now fear is here to stay,
love is here for a visit.
Elvis Costello
The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death.
Jim Morrison
The Doors
Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy.
Joel Osteen
It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.
Epicurus
When it comes to politics, we have an internal glass ceiling. We stand as good a chance as a man to win a political race, but women don't want to run at the same rate as men do. People point to the work-family balance issue, but I think it's much more than that. Many women don't have children, or have children who are no longer at home. There are some deeper psychological and emotional issues in play, like the fact that many of us feel like the embarrassment, humiliation and personal demonization in politics are simply more than our hearts can take. What stops us is fear.
Marianne Williamson
Drawing identity from any area other than the source of life is a spiritual death sentence, and worse, it's contagious, because it gives birth to tribalism. However, when we return to our central identity of image – bearers designed to receive love from and reflect love to others, we are naturally invited to shed all of the unloving, fear – based tribal behaviors that come from loyalty to the label.
Benjamin L. Corey
